Art sale to benefit Anderson Gallery

Approximately 400 works of art on paper from the David Anderson
Charitable Trust Collection will be on sale to the public from 1-6
p.m. May 5 in Center for the Arts, North Campus.

Prices will start at $50 and 85 percent of the proceeds will
benefit UB’s Anderson Gallery.

The sale will include work by Karel Appel, Jim Dine, George
Segal, Ludwig Sander and David Hayes, among others, and will be
conducted by art dealer Dean Brownrout.

The works to be sold, Brownrout says, will include prints from
Anderson’s private collection in a variety of styles and
sizes.

“People will be able to purchase with confidence,”
he says, “because these are museum-quality works, each with
an impeccable provenance.”

The late David K. Anderson inherited the art acumen of his
mother, world-renowned art collector and dealer Martha Jackson, a
Buffalo native. Her influential Manhattan gallery promoted modern
American artists and many artists not well-known in the U.S.

After attending UB in the 1950s, David Anderson opened art
galleries in his own name, first in New York, then Paris, while
building his reputation as an accomplished art dealer, collector
and philanthropist. His gift of the Anderson Gallery and its
collection to UB made him a major benefactor of the university and
the Western New York community before his death in 2009 at age
74.

“David Anderson specifically indicated that he wanted to
get these works on the walls of Western New York homes,”
Brownrout says, “so this event would have pleased
him.”
